Description...

St. Helens is at the heart of the North West region. Despite the present economic conditions, the pace of change here is as fast as ever, transforming both landscape and economy in recent years. St. Helens has a reputation for working in partnership to deliver development on the ground.

We are seeking a qualified and experienced Conservation Officer to join the Planning Service. The role will fulfil statutory duties in relation to designated and non-designated heritage assets in the Borough as well as providing design advice more generally and input into policy formulation. The Council is currently in the process of seeking funding through a Townscape Heritage bid. The Conservation Officer will have a key role in the delivery of the project if successful. Quality and performance are at the heart of the service and are key priorities for the team as a whole. The successful candidate will therefore have a positive attitude and ‘can do’ approach to work within this context.
